    Very nice unit, quiet. Bed & bathroom upstairs. Kitchen well equipped. Very comfy bed. Dan Murphys nextdoor and the Ship Inn Hotel next door to that was really nice. Close to town centre.

    There is no alternative to the AirCon (which I feel is wasteful, unless it's SO HOT!) other than opening the door to the balcony. Which has no latch. Just a thought if they ever re-design the rooms....incorporate some opening Windows! And/Or a ceiling fan. The TINY bathroom basin has NO area around it, to place anything. I've stayed many times here, and now I've got to say the Bathrooms need to be updated. Just a suggestion.

    These are great rooms (WITH STAIRS) and a big Bedroom with fabulous King size bed. And Balcony. It's a separate entity to The Ship Inn. So no Room Service etc. But the Pub is just next door. Where you can get good Pub meals. Steph on Reception is always extremely helpful and lovely. And there's a full Kitchen down stairs. Great Pub atmosphere. Centre of Town.

    Bathroom was small, stairs steep, had to be careful going up and down

    Lovely rooms over 2 floors. Spacious and well appointed comfortable furniture and bed. Proper kitchen. Quiet even though we faced the road. Balcony was good. Washing machine, with washing liquid provided was very useful.

    Alas the bed springs are sagging ended up with back pain after 2 sleeps, bathroom sink moves & is in the way of the toilet, so an accident waiting as I held the sink to get up, plumbing too was poor as water was very slow to go & ceiling fan didn't work in Bathroom. Needs some TLC

    Lovely bright room & balcony. Nice clean pool, close to restaurants & cafes.

    No complaints about the accommodation

    The Ship Inn is close to supermarket and centre of town. Easy flat walk to town centre and jetty foreshore area. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Very little to low overnight noise from nearby roads. Internal stairs may be awkward for those with bad knees, or unsteady on their feet. Kitchenette and laundry facilities in the room were more than adequate.

    The stairs 16 of them going up and down for a healthy 80-year-old was not expected, and the friend we took with us immediately hated what she saw, younger than us, who and did everything in her power to stress us. We continued. There was a hiccup as I call it. Management was great to help in any way and exceeded all expectations. It's not the Hilton but great for what we paid. I recommend you tell others about the stairs, maybe suitable for younger people. Ten apartments but one for disabled. Pool area good but water cold and no spa but beach very close

    Location in town great. Very friendly staff, cleanliness, always asking us if we wished the room to be made up unobtrusively Excellent food in the tavern and the Thursday night Triva fun and fully packed. Next to Dan Murphy. Beach very close.

    The wooden stairs in our one bedroom unit were narrow and slippery! Not everyone would be capable of navigating them safely and I think this should be included in their description of rooms.

    Location was excellent , walking distance to main streets and restaurants a bonus. Also handy to have a Dan Murphys next door. The hotel venue restaurant and beer garden at the Ship Inn excellent with great food and drinks! A private and quiet accommodation.

    Booked as 2 bed ( 1 king bed and 1 single). Unit was 2 storey with king upstairs with small bathroom and 2nd bedroom was actually lounge/kitchen with fold down couch. Noisy with fridge running at bottom of bed. Wouldn't have booked this room if it was clearer that this was the bed layout as adult downstairs had to go through upstairs bed to access bathroom.

    Good location walking distance to jetty and town centre. Great restaurant on site. Very clean and friendly staff, easy parking.
